Why aren't Sierra and Silverado combined? They are the same truck. If you want to point out different grills, Ford has about 6 different grills for the F-series depending on which model you buy.

If I combined everything that shared platforms and running gear... These lists wouldn't be much fun. Also, one could argue the Sierra is more than just a badge job, having a unique body, sans the cab.

he's got a point though.... the F-150 and the F-350 aren't at all the same truck... not even the same running gear... but they all get lumped into one.

Well, that would be more akin to splitting Chevy's HD and non-HD trucks.

Otherwise, I might as well lump Camry sales in with Highlander, Venza, Sienna, and ES350. I would have had to combine Regal, Century, Impala, Intrigue, and Grand Prix back in the day. Clearly, GM had the best-selling midsize car, not Honda or Toyota. This just doesn't work.

I think that is going a bit far down the slippery slope. Switching a Chevy to a GMC is just a front clip and a tailgate swap that someone could do in their back yard. You couldn't swap a Camry into a Venza in similar fashion though.... even though the Matrix gets lumped into Corolla sales while the Cobalt and HHR were always separate.

I think that is the definition for me.... if I can convincingly convert the vehicle from one brand to another without the use of a sawzaw, then it's probably a badge job.

The slope is always slippery. :P

Let me put it this way, I'm only going to list the makes and models as they appear in the sales breakdown given by each manufacturer. Any other route and I'm heading down that slippery slope...
